      Most will set up a ton of rules about what you need to do and how to do it but hide and do it behind their backs, all while manipulating how and why the other shouldn't or can't see others.

    People are focusing on the polyamory thing when that's not the point. He asked to be monogamous and cheated while being monogamous. She only brings up the polyamory to point out that they _had_ that at one time and everyone would have been fine if the dude just SAID SOMETHING, but he deliberately lied and manipulated and badmouthed people just so he could have the satisfaction of cheating and keeping her exclusive to him.

He’s literally a lying cheating jerk that clumsily burned all of his bridges just because he seems to have a kink for lying to everyone.

      It's honestly not a stretch. You're already being unfaithful. Most of the times the party who brings up they want an open relationship has been cheating and now just wants a "get out of jail free" card. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Someone is bound to get hurt due to the nature of the situation. You hear it all the time on Reddit and TikTok. And if you want to get political with it; women tend to have the short end of the stick on things and are usually the party that is hurt because someone, somewhere developed more feelings for one person over another.

To look at this situation and hold it up as an example of why polyamory doesn't work just shows that you are willfully ignorant and dishonest about polyamory.

Absolutely disgusting.
    As an aside, if anything he said or did directly caused people to lose work, and they can prove it, they definitely should talk to a lawyer about a defamation claim and a claim if tortious interference with contracts/damaging their ability to make a livelihood (like one of the things that Lauren the Mortician was trying to sue The Girlies for... but actually genuine).

      Just because men are the main party to cheat in "open relationships" doesn't mean women don't do it as well. If you look beyond your sexism you'll see there is a much deeper issue than "man bad because man born man". Many women nowadays preach for "sexual liberation" which only means "I'm going to sleep with as many people as I can to get back at men for doing this to me" and surprise Pikachu face when they don't have serious long term relationships and why they end up so lonely and complain on TikTok about ALL men instead of realizing THEIR the problem and are only attracting people like themselves.
      Take responsibility for your fuck ups instead of blaming men. Because you're crying wolf so many times that when something bad actually does happen, everyone will be desensitized and couldn't give less of a fuck. This leaks into so many modern day problems that are ignored because people wanted to lie and have their 15min of fame because they think they're the main character.

I was totally fine with his wife & his bf but I didn't know it was all of his friends that I was competing with. I was constantly trying to help him feel better and as soon as he was he suddenly has tons of friends who need his attention more than me. Like bro how did you fck up this whole relationship? I didn't know your friends were also a part of this dynamic so thanks for communicating with me.

    Creating chaos, distrust and manipulating others makes them feel powerful. It's fun, empowering and the more they do it without getting caught, the stronger and more confident they feel.
    Also, the harder it is to actually get them. They will weasel their way out of trouble everytime, pit people against each othet to avoid consequence and relationships be dammed, they'll nuke their family if it means keeping their lies and schemes safe.

  • @cookiemonsterz413
    @cookiemonsterz413 Před měsícem +16

    This is so wild. Because the 3 biggest rules in polyamory are consent, communication and respect to ALL parties. If you are in a relationship with someone, or multiple, and you want to get with someone new, all of your partners need to know and your new potential partner must know of the other relationships beforehand. Even just a simple, "hey, I'm going out with someone new today," is a perfect level of communication. And your partners are free to ask you to sit down first and have a more in depth conversation about this new partner before or afterwards. Polyamory is not for everyone, most people would not be able to handle the emotional strain of loving multiple people and that's perfectly fine. Which is why I will always scream that polyamory is valid, when you do what you can to make sure it's done well, and obviously every web is going to be different, but find what works, and as long as you follow those three rules, it should be ok.
    This man is not poly though, he's a conman. That's not even a joke, he did nothing but lie to convince others of whatever he wanted them to think. He liked the feeling of betraying another and thought he could get away from it by infiltrating a community that the majority assumes is just "free passes to cheat" (that misconception really pisses me off). But no it's a lot more difficult to get away with cheating in the world of polyamory, but this guy managed it.

It’s no secret that polyamorous folks who have no ethics and morals will still be super sneaky and not forthcoming about their sexual activities, putting every single partner of theirs at risk for transmission. Some people interpret open relationships and polyamory as meaning there doesn’t have to be open communication and honesty, and those folks are menaces.

I just imagined what Callum would have thought of some of the small scandals and mean girl dramas started among "Big Name Fans" back in the day. Some of the biggest bullies from the fanfic community have gone on to be successful, well-known authors, most likely because channels like this weren't really a thing back then, and their bad behavior was only known in the fandom.

    Whoa!! Drama I was actually around without even knowing it! I was at PAX all 4 days, I go every year, these are familiar faces as my boyfriend and I play lots of RPGs while at PAX, I saw all these people in person and that's wild

    The drama increases because someone was trying to help Gabe see why he was wrong and such and the person got attacked for associating with him.

    He definitely didn’t want any of his partners seeing other people but HE wanted as many as he could get.

    Having seen him on tumblr for so long, and then stumbling over this video, I don't know why but I'm simultaneously angry and not really surprised. I was wondering why his account was deactivated

    Man there’s so much drama with these type people and with streamers. Just left a group who had a steamer that would purposely pit other team members against each other and it was so toxic…..

    considering if he told the truth he'd still be able to have his cake and eat it too but decided to do all this bullcrap...I'll put in my two cents and say this was about power for him and s3x was just a tool for him to get that power for his ego.
    I know narcissist is severely over used and severely misused a lot...but yeah. I think he fits the bill.
